JENNY LIND is dead. This an- nouncemenc may have but little inter- est for the present generation, but thousands now living will breathe a sigh of genuine sorrow over the memory of this first and undisputed Queen of Song. Jenny Lind was truly a queenly representative of the stage in it's purest form, and our enthusias- tic admiration of the woman and her genius will never allow us to admit that she has ever known a rival near this throne. She possessed voice that was far superior to the best efforts of Mime. Patti in the flexible sweet ness of it's melody, and she was a far superior type of refined womanhood.

 In Ohio, IS far as learned, the repu5. ican plurality will not reach 30,000, hnd democrats were elected to many Important offices.
 In Virginia democrats elected about wo-thirds of the house and three ourths of the senate. Democratic Iains are large, and only lost four ounties add gained two.
 Massachusetts was close, republicans being slightly victorious
 In Iowa the democrats did good work, nd the result showed large gains
 Maryland gives the democrats about ,000 plurality.
 Nebraska and Oregon show demo- ratio gains.
 From the above, which is only esti- hated; democrats may know that our fothers in other States are up and ping.

AN IGNORANT CRITICISM.
Editor TIMES

Editor TIMES.
 The following appeared in the East Arkansian and was copied and en- dorsed, l presume, by the Forrest City Advocate. the colored organ of this place, in their last issues: We have always admired Judge NJ. T. Sanders and supported him for tho high position he now holds. We still maintain that as lawyer he haS few equals in the State. But when he will, as we are in- formed he has done, order legal adver- tisement, such as the sale of lands under chancery decree, done by post ing up few pale-faced notices that no one ever reads, then we must draw the line. It is no more nor less than dema- goguey. Sensible voters will not be cap tured in this way. Every one knows that the best medium of advertising is through a newspaper, but it is little cheaper to tack up" few pale-face notices. With due respect to Judge Sanders, we must enter our protest. y This is an eminent sample of the grade of ignorant criticism usually elicited from critics of this character. No doubt the Arkansian referred to the case of Garner and Broun, Exparte, {" which was petition for partition in which an order of sale was made at our last term of Court. Judge Sanders merely acted upon the request and at the suggestion of the parties in the case, all of whom were petitioners. No one else had any interest whatever in the matter, and if the interested parties thought that sufficient publicity would be given through the posting of pale faced notiees.o printed by the Ad- vocate, by the way certainly no one else ought to feel called upon to raise a hue and cry. Judge Sanders is in no way responsible for the course that was taken, and even it he were there is no call for criticism; and private citizens certainly have a perfect right to adver- tise their property as they think best for their own interest. without consid- ering whether or not the Arkansian, the Advocate or any other newspapers gets finger in the pie" It is the duty of a Chancery Judge to protect the interests of litigants not to see that some one-horse sheet makes a living
